flag Connecticut's government faces trust issues as FOIA exemptions rise, potentially limiting public transparency.

flag In Connecticut, trust in government is declining due to increased legislative exemptions from the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). flag Since its implementation in 1975, the number of exemptions has risen from 9 to 28, with at least 20 new bills this year aiming to further limit public access to government records and meetings. flag Notably, Senate Bill 1226 would exempt public university records, and House Bill 7217 would allow public school superintendents unlimited access to closed Board of Education sessions. flag These actions may undermine the FOIA's original purpose of promoting transparency and public trust.
